Our CEO was honored this weekend! Gotta story to tell: One of my favorite scriptures is Isaiah 61:3, “and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.” This time last year, then I didn’t like parts of my life and I was really in the ashes phase. I loathed my job (really some of the negative people) and some of my lifelong endeavors were chaotic. I was at a point of really giving up, but God wouldn’t let me. I fast forward to today and the beauty has really set in because I love my new job and the positive people and my lifelong commitments are strengthening. And on top of that, then I was an honoree today in the finer womanhood celebration by Zeta Phi Beta for all of my community accomplishments. If you would have asked me last year if I would be here this year, then I probably would have said NO! In addition, I have a dream team of family and friends that are living and 2 in heaven that push me to be a better Jackie. Shout-out to part of that team that was there today. My parents, Jack T. Walker & Phyllis Hoggard-Walker for being my backbone. My best friends, Leatha Ballard for being my right hand and Yolanda Edmonds Thomas for constantly encouraging me. My sister, Velvet Smith for always seeing things through my same lens. My sister, Deb C Elliott for always having my back. My sister, Lakeesha Klu Atkinson for being my inspiration as a community leader. My sister, Amira Bethea for being a great listener and encourager. My coworkers who were once my former teacher and AP when I was a kid. Man wasn’t there today, but he pushes me to do my best. Last but certainly not least, my grandparents, Russell & Erma Hoggard who I take with me everywhere on my chest as my angels. I thank God for peace and more of me is to come. #skyisthelimit#drdiva#bosslady#faith#hope#dreams#goals#communityservice#commitment#dedication#excellence#blackgirlmagic#blackgirlsrock @oprah @iamsteveharveytv @theellenshow
